Many of them are high-school and university students on exchange, au-pairs or au-pair families, around-the-world-travellers, expats or young enthusiasts doing a voluntary year of social service abroad. The common bond is that all of them are living, exploring, learning, and experiencing a foreign country and blogging about it!
